After the steam loco shortages that plagued the 2013 Great Britain tour there has been a flurry of overhaul completions. There have been three test trips round the Hellifield loop in fairly quick succession recently with B1 61306 being followed by Scot 46115 and, on 25th June, Black 5 45231 seen here approaching Hest Bank at speed. (My thanks to John McIntyre for the tip off about this working)
